>>966727Copy/pasta for you (inb4 someone complains about mycorrhizal symbiosis again):
-Better drainage and soil air flow.
-No need for tilling since it never gets compacted. Just planting and digging up crops is tilling enough.
-Due to the lack of tilling, mycorrhizal symbiosis is enhanced, increasing water and nutrient uptake, resulting in higher yields, better drought, cold, pest, disease, heat tolerances, and soil toxicity.
-Soil temps are higher at the beginning and ending of the seasons to extend the season a bit.
-You can more easily use polytunnel systems to have year-round gardening.
-You can more easily cover with cloth or netting to prevent frost or certain pests from harming crops.
-Permanent watering systems are easier to install and maintain.
-Reaching things is much easier, especially if your raised bed has a wide wall you can sit on.
-You always have well established walkways for you and your tools/wheelbarrow.
-It creates a buffer zone for weed seeds and many crawling pests.
-Less need for weeding and when you do need to weed it is super easy to reach and pull out of loose soil.
-Easier to apply intensive gardening techniques for much higher yields.
-Complete control over soil composition.
-Landlords normally allow it, because it does not destroy the hardpan of the yard and can be easily moved/removed.
-You can more easily employ a wide range of permaculture techniques.
-You can cover disused/fallow raised beds with chicken tractors/rabbit tractors in the off season to fertilize the soil.
-Keeping track of your crop rotation and planning your crop placement is a little be easier.
